Explains why the Air Force concluded decades ago that they pose no threat.
Maybe if we throw our feces at them, they will go away.
Actually, one common reason for the Air Force ignoring UFO sightings goes back to the Robertson Panel where the concern arose that civilian UFO reports were becoming so plentiful that they might overwhelm our system and that would permit Russian aircraft to enter our airspace undetected.
The Robertson Panel was a committee commissioned by the Central Intelligence Agency in 1952 in response to widespread reports of unidentified flying objects, especially in the Washington, D.C. area. The panel was briefed on U.S. military activities and intelligence; hence the report was originally classified Secret.Later declassified, the Robertson Panel's report concluded that UFOs were not a direct threat to national security, but could pose an indirect threat by overwhelming standard military communications due to public interest in the subject. Most UFO reports, they concluded, could be explained as misidentification of mundane aerial objects, and the remaining minority could, in all likelihood, be similarly explained with further study.

Posed no threat or there was nothing we could do about them anyway.
